BP= Bulls**t People

Literally. I was just looking at this website, and I looked at something that a BP agent said.

“The containment cap is producing around 10,000 barrels of oil a day to the surface which is being processed on the surface,” he said. Asked what proportion that represented of the total oil leaking, Hayward said: “At the moment it’s difficult to say but we would expect it to be the majority, probably the vast majority of the oil.”

Okay. So this means that a BP representative is talking about the recent “cap” they put on the leaking oil pipe. And he says that a lot, if not almost all, is being piped off to the surface and made into liquid money. Oh, but what’s this? Somebody who knows what they are talking about and who isn’t paid boatloads of cash by his higher-ups to keep quiet has something to say.

Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said Saturday that after its first full day of work, the cap placed on the gusher near the sea floor trapped about 252,000 gallons of oil, which is somewhere between a quarter to half of the oil flowing from the well, according to government estimates.

Oh. Well wait a minute, mister BP representative… what you’re saying is a complete and total fabrication. There’s no debating that, either. “A quarter to a half of the oil” is not “the vast majority of the oil”. I understand he’s being made to give positive estimates by the company, but… seriously? Where the hell does this company get off, blatantly lying to our faces at every turn? Now, keep in mind here, I’m a republican, which means I’m no tree-hugging “save the whales” bleeding heart ecologist. But for fuck’s sake, this spill is going to take forever to clean up, and it’s going to kill off an insane amount of animals in the gulf. Which kind of sucks, because once they’re gone, they’re gone. There’s a lot of endangered animals there, like the Axolotl. Which is this little aquatic creature that’s kind of adorable. Plus it looks like a fucking Mudkip.

And I liek Mudkipz.

All memes aside, this spill sucks, and I think that the government should get off their asses, tear BP a new one, and take the oil rig saving effort into their own hands. Then we can have all the delicious oil for ourselves. Mua ha ha. No seriously, I’m surprised that nothing’s happened to BP yet except for an “investigation”, seeing as how we have a liberal for a president. You’d think he’d be all tree-huggy about it. Guess not, though, huh? He did extend the war for quite a bit. And he hasn’t done much of his itinerary… okay, you know what? Let’s not get into that. I’ll leave you guys with a question… do U liek Mudkipz?
